Brief Description: Notes

The 6 forward gears and the reverse gear are generated by a double planetary gear set (Ravigneaux) and a front-mounted simple planetary gear.

The way these planetary gear-sets work together, is patented (Lepelletier).

Also new: The stationary disconnect feature, what means that the gearbox is disconnected from the power train at standstill (clutch A is open).

This causes an additional reduction of fuel consumption.

Former the torque converter ran against the motor (foot on the brake) at standstill.

The 6HP26 uses the new "ASIS" shift strategy developed by ZF (Adaptive Shift Strategy).
